Luke, Jesus and the City

Paper Summary:

This paper reviews and discusses the gospel of Luke which deals with the birth, life and resurrection of Jesus. According to the paper, there are certain passages that have special meaning. This paper focuses specifically on these chapters.

From the Paper:

"Firstly, the focal points that are mentioned relate to the authority with which the apostles were invested by Jesus. They have been given the "power and authority over all demons". (Luke, 9: 1) This idea however is seen before in the Gospel of Luke. Thus, the theme of exorcising demons is present also in Luke 4:33-37, which presents Jesus and one of His Acts in a synagogue "And Jesus rebuked him, saying: Hold thy peace and go out of him. And when the devil had thrown him into the midst, he went out of him and hurt him not at all." (Luke, 4:35) Similarly, the idea is present in Luke 8: 26-39. In Luke 9:1, the apostles were invested with the same authority. This comes to prove that which proves that the passage can be interpreted as being a connection between different dispersed passages from the Gospel."
